How can we measure visible light? The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms of light energy, known as electromagnetic radiation. (1) Different types of electromagnetic radiation such as radio ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...

Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...

For the past six years, the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has been working with a color chemist to produce paint pigments that correspond to each nanometer of the visible light spectrum.

When it comes to appearances, the universe is a tricky place. Visible light occupies merely a sliver of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. To study the cosmos in its entirety, scientists must peer ...

Photonic crystals are materials with repeating internal structures that interact with light in unique ways. We can find natural examples in opals and the vibrant colored shells of some insects. Even ...
